Adventure

Sherwood Anderson in this Short Story discusses the life and times of Alice Hindman. I beleive the main point that Anderson was trying to get across was there is no such thing as one perfect match or true love. In the story Alice waste her whole life just for her chances of being with Ned again. This in turn ruins her. She becomes lonely, scared, and crazy. But on the other hand Ned was living a ful-filling life distant to Alice. He had no ties to Alice after a couple years after that departure but he moved on and had made himself a succesful and good life. Alice has boiled down to a person with no feeling and is useless to society with no friends or family left to rely on. That is why it shows that there is no true one person you are meant to be with. When they were still young, Yes, alice and ned could of been together, but there are plenty of males and females out in the world to make a family with. If you spend your whole youth looking for this special person you may never find them and ruin your chances of having a good life, or pass up all the other good people that tried to come in your path, but you denied them. This story seems to be a huge theme in modern day movies where people turn down many people just to find that perfect someone. I know this seems weird that i watched this movie, but in 27 dresses, the main character passes up this guy the whole movie trying to find Mr. Right, but it takes a drastic measure to find out the guy she was loooking for was there the whole time.
